Thumbs Up! Poem by Alistair Plint

Dear Child.

The world rotates;
with it your
little life
will
change
and permeate.

Today it starts
a rotation,
a change of
station -
I hope to God,
you've been served well.

I pray
today
my foundation
is enough
to revolve
your world
managing the
navigation.

May your life be filled
with laughter
and smiles.

If you close
your eyes;
we can
imagine,
you came
to visit

even if,
only for
eskimo-kisses.
